Venting System Inspection
The water heater’s internal flue must be
inspected annually to be certain it is clean
by removing the blower assembly and flue
baffle.
When reinstalling the flue baffle make
certain it is hung securely by its hanger
at the top of the flue way.
Reinstall the blower assembly.
Inspect the gas venting system and the
chimney.
Make certain the vent connector from the
blower assembly to the chimney is properly
positioned and securely attached.
If after inspection of the vent system
you found soot or deterioration;
call the local gas utility to correct the
problem and clean the flue, or replace the
flue, flue baffle, and venting system before
resuming operation of the water heater.
Test for spillage at the blower assembly
relief opening after 5 minutes of burner
operation. Use a flame of a match or
candle or smoke.
